Judge Orders Halt to Oregon Aesthetic Technologies Sales

A federal judge this week ordered a five-year-old Portland-based medical device company to cease selling its handheld acne-fighting product.

The ruling comes a month after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration also told Oregon Aesthetic Technologies Inc. to halt sales of its ANSR: BEAM acne device and ANSR: HALO anti-wrinkle devices because it never secured the clearances required before taking the products to market.
